He co-wrote and produced his first feature film, "A Fool And His Money", starring Sandra Bullock and George Plimpton in 1988. Since then, Mailer has produced 10 feature films under his former shingle Bigel/Mailer Films. Such films include the critically acclaimed "Two Girls and a Guy" starring Robert Downey, Jr., Heather Graham, and Natasha Gregson Wagner (20th Century Fox, 1998), “Black and White” starring Brooke Shields, Elijah Wood, and Mike Tyson (Sony Pictures, 1999), and “Empire” starring John Leguizamo, Denise Richards, and Peter Sarsgaard (Universal Studios, 2002). He also found success with films like “Lost Junction” with Neve Campbell (MGM, 2000), “The Last Producer” with Burt Reynolds, Lauren Holly, and Benjamin Bratt (Artisan, 2002), and “Harvard Man” starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Joey Lauren Adams, and Adrien Grenier (Blockbuster, 2002). His library also includes “Giving it Up” with Dabney Coleman, Mark Feuerstein, and Ali Larter (Lion’s Gate, 2003) and “The Money Shot” with Vincent Laresca and Tamara Tunie.
